According to The Times, Tottenham Hotspur are now the favourites to sign Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham this summer.

Spurs have been keeping tabs on the 17-year-old, who has enjoyed a remarkable breakthrough campaign at Championship level this season.

Sessegnon has been an important part of Fulham’s side this season, helping the Cottagers reach the Championship play offs.

Although Fulham ultimately fell short in the promotion deciding fixtures, Sessegnon’s form has not gone unnoticed.

And Mauricio Pochettino is said to be keen to bring the youngster, who is valued at £12 million (The Express), to Spurs.

Tottenham did face competition from Liverpool for the left-sided player’s signature but, according to the Mirror, Jurgen Klopp now fears that he has missed out.

Tottenham are believed to be closing in on snapping up Sessegnon, who they feel could be Danny Rose’s long-term replacement.
